ECE4305 Software Defined Radio Systems and Analysis

This repository contains the old lab homeworks of the course ECE 4305: Software-Defined Radio Systems and Analysis. While the current lab homeworks can be easily found in its LabGuides repository, I had a hard time to find the first set of lab homeworks. Luckly, such materials were available in other course: EE 506 Fundamentals of Wireless Communications, from University of Washington.

Therefore, I decided to create this repository to make them avaible for me and anyone else who is interested in this content.

PS1: The Simulink files are in the old .mld extension, which was replaced by .slx.

PS2: Each lab homework refers to a given chapter. I am not sure which book it is, but it is probably Software-Defined Radio for Engineers as ECE4305 is heavily based on it.

PS3: It seems that the ECE4305's initial hardware set up was based on USRP2. USRP (short for Universal Software Radio Peripheral) is a specific brand and a serie of SDR devices developed by Ettus Research, which is a company of National Instruments. It is known for high flexibility, modularity, and performance, and suitable for professional and research applications, but it is more expansive than low-price SDR devices developed for hobbist and students, such as ADALM-PLUTO SDR and RTL-SDR. Howerver, the newest lab homeworks (see LabGuides show that ECE4305 is now adopting ADALM-PLUTO SDR. Therefore, you should refer to this device to implement the lab homeworks (the old documents refering to USRP2 are kept here for the sake of reference).
